THE GROWING CHURCHES.


 Many people talk about the decay of Christianity and bewail the spread of mate- rialism. But according to some facts set forth in the Independent Christianity is not decaying fast in this country. On the con, trary it seems to be growing and spreading with surprising vigor.
 Four years ago the total strength of all churches in the United States, not including the Mormons, the Jews, fragmentary bodies and independent congregations was 115, ,610 churches, S1,717 ministers and. 1T, ,267, ITS communicants. In the column of communi- eants the Roman Catholic church was credit ed with 6,s32, ,954 population, which term in cludes all who have been baptized, whether communicants or not. The same churches now have 132, 435 churches, 91 ,911 ministers and 19, ,018, SIT communicants. The Roman Catholic church is represented in this table as having 100000 population. The net gains in the four years were 15, 325 churches, 9,694 ministers and 1, ,61S, 799 communicants. | This is a remarkable showing, for in order to have net increase the churches must annu- ally receive enough new members to supply the losses occasioned by death, discipline sad otherwise before they can reckon in- crease. The death list alone is large. For example, the Methodist Episcopal church, 1 which now has about 1000, 900 members, had | death list last year of over 25, ,000, and in l the previous year of little less than 25,000. l The only denominations which show any de crease are the Moravians, the Swedenbor- gians and the Universalists, and it is only the latter that have suffered @ loss 1T
 churches, ministers and members. Botf ths Moravians and Swedenborgians have
 gained in membership.
 These are very encouraging facts, for the!

A GREAT OLD SOCIETY BREAKS UP
The Ancient Guild of Crossbowmen
 DIsbands.

Disbands.
 From the London Standard.1
 A link which bound modern Europe to the middle ages has just been severed at Ghent
 by the dissolution of the ancient guild of Crossbowmen in that city. It had existed since the eleventh century, but with ever diminishing utility, since crossbows and long bows are no longer in fashion; and the society came lately to the conclusion that it had ceased to have any Iaison d'etre. It's massive plate has all been sold, including a superb chased silver cup presented to the as- sociation by the Archduke Albert and the Archduchess Isabella, which has now be- come the property of Baron Rothschild at the price of twenty-five thousand francs. The closing hours of the old guild were celebrated by banquet, at which it is not to be doubted that the burghers feasted as proudly as did those of Antwerp, who, when they were entertained by the Prince of Or ange, finding their benches hard, spread their jeweled velvet cloaks over them. and afterward left them to the lackeys, saying, "We do not carry away our dinner cush- ionsI" After this final act of comradeship, when the antique crossbows were hung upon the tapestry for the last time, and the great parcel-gilt goblet of the association, brimmed with spiced Rhenish, went round for the ul- innate toast, the members still had matter of ten thousand guilders in hand. This sum they transmitted to the charity commission
 of Ghent, and herewith the existence of the antique confraternity terminated.
 Great and famous are the men who have
 belonged to it in bygone days. Its sturdy burghers and the stalwart men-at- arms main tained and drilled by them were the terror of the Duke of Alva-if anything could ever
 terrify that fierce and arrogant soldier, who in sixty years of warfare was never once
 beaten or surprised. In his time the society
 was power in the State. We slay each
 other now by heater means, and these an- cisnt weapons have no longer any existence except as toys at archery meetings and in the
 sports of little boys. They were grimly use ful, nevertheless, in the days when this guild of Ghent was fourishing, and in their time
 have sent about as many souls of heroes to the other world as any invention of that em- inently de structive animal man.

 Fact is we are offering in all departments, bargains unheard of heretofore. The people discover that we mean what we say and we do not misrepresent the value of goods.
